    Anyone read Douglas Adams? In one the HH books there is a character that is a lorry driver and has catalogued 50+ different versions of rain. Little does he know he's a rain god. So why, when I'm ill like today, does it always rain? X| :( It's pouring down here in SE England. Even better than that, I'm supposed to be on study leave for an FSA exam, so I am in effect, ill in my own time. Why doesn't this happen in work time? :( I've managed 20 minutes of revision so far, and can't see for the tears and sneezing. :( There must be some divine conspiracy going on. X| B.

                  Be welcomed! The water is gone (except some subway stations - you have better view from tramways anyway :)) All the historic center is accesible, only a part of it was damaged because the city stands on a hilly terrain. You will see a damages of course, the Kampa at Mala Strana was heavily affected. The plus is, that the tourist density per square meter is significantly lower :). Look at this[^] for informations.
